Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -CSF provides hydromechanical protection of the neuroaxis through two mechanisms. First, CSF acts as a shock absorber, cushioning the brain against the skull. Second, CSF allows the brain and spinal cord to become buoyant, reducing the effective weight of the brain from its normal 1, 500 grams to a much lesser 50 grams.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF, shown in blue) is made by tissue that lines the ventricles (hollow spaces) in the brain. It flows in and around the brain and spinal cord to help cushion them from injury and provide nutrients.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) plays an essential role in maintaining the homeostasis of the central nervous system.
